Look, these are articles I can understand why people write stories about how AI is going to split the sea and wipe it's butt with general relativity.
I mean, it's still horrible fiction.
But even I can see that if you'd manage to duplicate a rat brain using this tech, you have a rat working 30.000 times faster then a human brain.
These are hard numbers you can spin a tale around.

I just don't see why you'd write fiction as soon as AI can generate art of a lady with 2 different eyes and 11 and a half fingers and a hint of a third arm.

Anyway, cool article.
